Ingredients

  • 1 lb. 96% lean ground beef
  • 3 cups zero point marinara sauce ( see notes for recipe) or no sugar added Prego marinara sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ( 8 oz.) carton fat free or part-skim ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp grated parmesan
  • 12 Tbsp light mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 24 wonton wrappers-I like to use the Twin Dragon wonton wrappers
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

      1. Preheat oven to 375° degrees.
      2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, crumbling until no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat from the beef.
      3. In a large mixing bowl combine the marinara sauce to the cooked ground beef, stirring to combine. Set aside.
      4. In a medium mixing bowl, mix ricotta or cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings together. Whisk in egg and mix until well combined.
      5. Spray a 12 muffin cups with non stick cooking spray; line each with a wonton wrapper. Fill each with 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture and 1-1/2 tablespoons of the meat sauce.
      6. Top each with a second wrapper, rotating corners and pressing down centers. Repeat ricotta and meat sauce layers. Top each cup with a tablespoon of mozzarella cheese
      7. Bake for 20-22 minutes. NOTE: After about 10 minutes, watch the lasagna cups closely. If the wonton wrapper edges are getting too brown, cover with foil and continue to cook until cheese is melted, and wontons are golden brown.
      8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
      9. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in air fryer or oven at 350 degrees until heated through.
